Before I get too far into this subject, I do want to say that as I am talking with churches around the country I have been encouraged lately with the number of churches that are becoming more aware of the need to be proactive in protecting the people attending their church.

First, a definition of denial from Merriam-Webster would be a good place to lay a foundation.

DENIAL: Refusing to admit the truth or reality of something unpleasant.
